Jobs with the Play! Framework and Heroku

First thing, create a job that runs your task. Don't set a timer or anything on it, we will trigger it manually.

You will need to add two things to your app. First is an endpoint that uses authorization (for your security) to trigger the job in the background. Something like this will do it:

public class JobEndpoint extends Controller{ 
    public static void runTheJob(){ 
        if( "jobuser".equals(request.username) && "jobpass".equals(request.password) ){ 

new WhateverYourJobClassIs().now();

#!/usr/bin/env bash

## Bash Script to setup a number of boxen

## Pass this script a series of machine names, and watch it go to work

## Email is who gets the report, access_type is the command used to access the remote boxes - usally ssh. 
# if you are using telnet, you are doing it wrong

#Lovingly stolen from @tsykoduk, and then hacked to crap
